of_parse_thermal_zones() parses the thermal-zones node and registers a
thermal_zone device for each subnode. However, if a thermal zone is
consuming a thermal sensor and that thermal sensor device hasn't probed
yet, an attempt to set trip_point_*_temp for that thermal zone device
can cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it.

It looks like the same kind of data->ops null pointer dereference issue is present in three other functions within this file: of_thermal_get_temp(), of_thermal_set_emul_temp(), and of_thermal_get_trend(). Should those be fixed along with of_thermal_set_trip_temp() in a single patch?

Thanks,
David
